Text QR code generator
A text QR code contains exactly the text you enter. It suits short notes, inventory numbers or instructions and is generated as a UTF-8 payload.

Design
A logo that is too large covers data and hurts readability. The size is therefore capped at 25% and error correction is set to level H.
Enter your details on the left to see the QR code.
Some details are still missing for the QR code.
As soon as all required fields are filled in correctly, the QR code appears automatically.
Scan quality
Adjust settings
- Input complete: Please complete all required fields correctly.
- Sufficient contrast: The contrast is 16.3:1.
- Safe logo size: No logo has been added.
- Sufficient quiet zone: The quiet zone matches the recommended four modules.
- Recommended error correction: Current level: M. For print, at least level M is recommended.
These checks are an estimate. Test the QR code on several devices before printing.

Note: 50 % discount; valid until March 😊How to create it
- 1Type the text directly, including line breaks and special characters.
- 2For a simpler pattern only include the information needed at scan time.
- 3Test long texts with the real output format before printing.
Compatibility and limits
- The scanning app shows the decoded text and decides itself how to wrap and display it.
- More UTF-8 data increases QR density and can require larger output.
Common mistakes
- A very long text may not fit the chosen QR version or becomes hard to scan.
- Quotes and backslashes are allowed but must not be altered accidentally.
